1. Introduction
Ubercraft is a Minecraft server with focus on a friendly community and a legit, close-to-?vanilla? Minecraft experience.
We welcome all players to our server and we do not keep a whitelist, so everyone can join. To reduce griefing and assure a dedicated playerbase, we require players to apply for building priveliges.

We condemn all acts of griefing and have appropriate plugins to catch any griefers. Every player-made action is logged so catching griefers is a piece of cake, and we will almost always be able to  roll back the changes.
Ubercraft is hosted on an up-to-date dedicated server with a 24/7 uptime, excluding maintenance.

2. Information
Anti-griefing measures are taken. We are watching you, griefers!
PvP is disabled, except for in certain areas.
Monsters are enabled, Creepers are not nerfed so beware!
Admins and moderators can protect your buildings if requested. Ask an admin (red name) or moderator (blue name) and he will gladly help you!
The server does automatic backups regularly, should anything go terribly wrong!
We have a dynamic world map where you can see the explored areas of the world and the other players in real-time.
The server is based in Europe, but we have players from all around the world with no latency issues.

3. Plugins
The server is running Bukkit with a handful of plugins to better administer the server. We try not to introduce plugins that change the actual gameplay.

3.1. Shop
BetterShop and iConomy creates a player-controlled economy where players can easily buy and sell items to a global shop. The prices for an item dynamically vary with supply and demand, and the item stock is completely player-supplied, meaning that you cannot buy items out of nothing, a player must've sold the item to the shop first. This helps preserve the "vanilla" feeling of the server.

BetterShop usage & commands
(Round Brackets) denote optional sections.
/shop ( - Shows current buy/sell information on the given item.
Ex: /shop diamond:5 shows you how much 5 diamond buy/sell for.

/shop buy ( - Purchases an item. Default quantity is 1 bundle.
Ex: /shop buy diamondpick gives you 1 diamond pick.
Ex: /shop buy torch:64 gives you 64 torches

/shop sell ( - Sells an item.
Ex: /shop sell IronPick sells a Iron Pickaxe to the shop.
Ex: /shop sell Stone:64 sells 64 stone to the shop.

/shop info - Shows much more detailed information about an item in the shop, such as stock level, volatility, etc.
A list of items and their respective itemId can be found here. Please note that not all of those items are available in the shop.

4. Rules
Griefing is strictly forbidden and will be severly punished.
Please keep in-game chat in English. You can use /msg to send a private message to another player.
Fire spread and TNT is disabled to avoid griefing or accidental infernos.
Please do not use mine carts or boats as they tend to lag the server.
Don't build 1x1 towers/pillars or huge floating castles. They don't look good.
Cheating, hacking or exploiting is strictly forbidden.
Admins/mods will not give you items. We believe in a close-to vanilla Minecraft experience.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I protect my chests/doors?
A: You can easily protect your chests within your factions, by just placing them withing your claimed lands

Q: "Moderator name here", can I have some "insert item here"?
A: No. We do not spawn items for players.

Q: Can you make me a warp?
A: We do not create warps for players because we believe this destroys a big part of the Minecraft experience. Warps will only be made at certain landmarks or big projects.


Donations are hugely appreciated and will go to server expenses, a better domain name and maintaining the server
